Hell yeah, Curt! Looks amazing! Those Amen parts came in quite handy. I wouldn't have known they weren't sculpted just for this.

I finally got around to actually trying everything on. I have a couple of tweaks to make to the fit, but nothing major. I'm also still not happy with the weathering on the shirt not showing up at all in photos. I'll focus it a little more in the exposed areas, but I don't want it to look comical...

Thanks! I appreciate it! It won't be as screen accurate as I want for the convention, but there's no reason I can't keep working on it afterwards.

Progress update (8 working days left until DragonCon): Evil Ash is almost fully complete! I did a weathering pass today, but it's not picking up on camera much, so I'll go even harder on it tomorrow I have a couple of small details to add (extra strap in the back with adjustment for fit and...

Thanks man! Not going for shiny and new, I'm just leaving most of the weathering until the end so I can hit it all at once. I'm going for as screen accurate as I can within the time allowed and my skill level. It won't be perfect, but I will love it. I've been super busy with this as well as 3...

I wouldn't miss it for the world!

Progress update: Armor is mostly complete other than the cow skull on the right pauldron and finishing the strapping. Those will be done this week. Cape is complete other than some final weathering Darkened up the paint on the helmet a bit. Still want to tweak it a little maybe. Started...

Made a little more progress on armor this weekend. I'm kinda bouncing around right now and working on whatever seems the most fun at the time. I have the forearm armor and the left pauldron partially complete. Pauldron just needs a couple of simple plates and the arms need a plate and a more...

Yeah, I've just been digging out the tooth cavities very carefully with an exacto knife and tweezers. I may give the dremel a try because it is very tedious doing it my way.

Looks amazing, dude! Great paint job to round out a perfect mask!

I've made a little more progress on the costume. I still need to get the teeth and hair in the mask, but the teeth are requiring some tedious reworking of the silicone because the mold apparently didn't do a great job of holding the shape of the indentations of the teeth. In the meantime, I got...

Stellar work as always! Can't wait to see the painted mask!

Thanks! Yeah, I just bought the pants, but I am making the shirt myself. I got some decent looking material at Joann Fabric and I'll seam rip on eof my button down shirts to get a rough pattern and size. I'll have to modify it to make it double-breasted and remove the collar, but it should be...

This is awesome! Thanks for making these! I just purchased the kit on gumroad.

Adding some more shots of the paint job, even though the lighting washed it out a bit.
